Trailers Galore

A few weeks ago I decided to buy an old 1972 camper trailer for traveling. A week prior to this I had missed out on enclosed utility trailer that I had wanted to convert.

I picked up the trailer on a Saturday but could only pull it a few miles to my mother’s house because my hitch installers had used the wrong cable and failed to test it. I wasn’t going to pull the trailer 19km back to Sudbury without any tail lights.

Since it’s primarily for traveling it didn’t have to be big… and it isn’t! I plan to redo the interior but I haven’t had time to look at it since picking it up two weeks ago… so it still sits at my mother’s house.

I think primarily a hotel setup with a bed and bathroom would be nice. Maybe a microwave, bar fridge and water cooler would be covenant. There are so many places to get food when you travel, why would need to keep so much food with you?

I do want to make it look nice on the inside and not the hack job that it currently is. I’m thinking a futon to sleep on or maybe a built in double bed. Setting up the bathroom might be problematic but I’ll have the winter to figure it out.

My Jeep can pull 5000 lbs so a tiny trailer (@ 1500 lbs) won’t make it sweat hard.
